Letter: Playground for all — even smokers!

OK, so I am a smoker! I pay my taxes. I’ve never broken the law (never even had a speeding ticket). I’m healthy (my physical proves this). So why are my rights being taken from me?

First, “No Smoking” in restaurants — not even a smoking section for me. Now ... “No Smoking” outside? Good grief.

Smoking is not illegal, but as a smoker I feel targeted. Smoking is my decision to make, not others to make for me. Some people have way too much time on their hands and feel the need to try and force their personal agendas down others throats.

I’m tired of being singled out! Why is one person’s right greater than mine? Enough already! You’ve won! We now stand on sidewalks outside restaurants, outside hotels, outside stadiums.

Now your trying to put us where? I’m fed up. If you don’t like it, don’t stand next to me or let your kids stand next to me. There’s room enough for all of us.
